Bank Nifty outlook: “Bank Nifty is trading sideways in the 35600-36300 zone where we can expect a move towards 36200-36300 zone in the opening session on the back of positive development in heavyweight HDFC Bank but we have to watch Bank Nifty’s behavior post-gap up opening because if it again faces resistance at a higher level then it may continue to remain range-bound while if it manages to cross the 36300 level then 36500 will be the next critical hurdle; above this, we can expect a meaningful short-covering rally,” Santosh Meena, Equity Research Head, Swastika Investmart, stated.
